ABC's New Series 'Eat The Invaders' Gets 4.5 Stars... And I Haven't Even Watched It Yet - New Matilda

Nov 26, 2024 | newmatilda.com | Chris Graham

It's the ABC, the original home of the saying 'All sizzle, no sausage', so it's always possible we're all going to be spectacularly disappointed. But its new series Eat The Invaders looks to be the tastiest morsel the nation's broadcaster has brought us all in a very long time.

EDITORIAL: Harris By A Nose, Or Your Money Back

Nov 5, 2024 | newmatilda.com | a Nose |Chris Graham

As we all wait with baited breath for the election outcome in the US, below is a stunning piece of writing by Kari James, a Brisbane-based researcher who specialises in trauma. Whatever the result, the core problem in America won’t be resolved by a Donald Trump defeat. He really is just a symptom of a much bigger problem.
The Polls Have Barely Opened, And Already Trump Has Raised The Spectre of A 'Stolen Election'... Unless He Wins, Of Course

Nov 5, 2024 | newmatilda.com | Chris Graham

Polling hasn’t even opened in some US states, and already former Republican president Donald Trump has begun setting the stage to claim the election is rigged… but only if he doesn’t win. In other words, he’s having a bet each way, which suggests that deep down, Trump suspects he might lose again. Chris Graham explains. After casting his ballot in Palm Beach, Florida, shortly after the polls opened, Trump spoke to reporters alongside wife Melania. True to form, most of what he said was untrue.
Is The Left Reading The Wrong Room?

Nov 5, 2024 | newmatilda.com | Alex Vickery-Howe

Alex Vickery-Howe asks the question that may define the 2024 US Presidential election. This article can have only one title. It’s the question that keeps me up at night. I’ve posted it here so I’m not alone in my rising sense of panic, and we can all breathe into paper bags at 3am together.
Explainer: Why All that Sun And Solar Couldn’t Put Broken Hill Back Together Again

Oct 31, 2024 | newmatilda.com | Geoff Russell

Broken Hill doesn’t often make the news, but when it does, it’s often for the wrong reasons. Over to Geoff Russell to explain why the recent power crisis was so shambolic that it made national headlines. AUTHOR’S UPDATE: The article below was written before the failure of the backup diesel generator in Broken Hill. It turns out that while there are two, one was awaiting repair. Ouch. I wonder how long it had been waiting and why?
Iconic Queenslander-TV Presenter Fiona MacDonald Announces Her Own Passing, Aged 67

Oct 4, 2024 | newmatilda.com | New Matilda

If you feel like being inspired (albeit a little sad) it’s worth checking out the Instagram page of popular 90s TV presenter Fiona MacDonald, who passed away late this week, aged 67. If you’re GenX, or the end of Gen Y, you’ll remember MacDonald as the upbeat co-host of ‘It’s A Knockout’, the most ‘Queensland’ game show ever conceived, pitting teams from different states against each other in a series of ridiculous challenges.
Sky's The Limit When You Need To Blame The Deaths Of 72 People On Greens

Sep 29, 2024 | newmatilda.com | Alex Vickery-Howe

A years-long coronial inquiry and investigation recently found that the Grenfell Tower Fire in the UK, which killed 72 people and injured many more in 2017, was preceded by numerous government failures. But thanks to the boffins over at Sky News, we now know who the real culprit is… ‘extreme Green ideology’. Rewriting history never looked so ugly or ridiculous, writes Dr Alex Vickery Howe. There’s a song by English rock group Elbow that we should all be playing this month.
Letters To The Editor | September 2024

Sep 25, 2024 | newmatilda.com | Chris Graham

New Matilda is currently revising its social media policy. While that is ongoing, we’re relaunching the old ‘Letters to the editor’ format, to encourage and promote debate on articles published on New Matilda. In the days before the dumpster fire that is social media, public comment came via a curated section, where readers submitted their views to the publication, and an editor subbed and published them, within certain rules and parameters (eg.
RUOK? Not if You're Seeking Asylum, And Not After A Decade Of Legal Limbo

Sep 20, 2024 | newmatilda.com | Jane E. Salmon

Earlier this month, RUOK? Day came and went, with virtually no-one asking after the welfare of more than 10,000 asylum seekers in Australia… men and women who have been waiting for a decision from government on their future for more than decade. Jane Salmon speaks out. Having been vilified and blocked for over a decade, asylum seekers needing permanent visas are not OK.
